A countertop appliance having a detachable base with rotatable handles for selectively engaging a pan or cooking surface of the appliance. The rotatable handles of the detachable base are rotatable between a locked position in which the pan is secured to the base preventing separation of the pan from the base and a disengaged position where the pan can be lifted off the base. The rotatable handles can also be rotated into a stored position in which the handles are positioned within the detachable base, whereby the detachable base can be placed within the pan to facilitate storage and reduce overall shipping volume.

Countertop appliance having detachable base

A cooking apparatus powered by a detachable electrical control, the apparatus having a cooking surface and a support member hingedly attached to the cooking surface. The support member has a folded position generally parallel to the cooking surface and an extended position generally perpendicular to the cooking surface. A barrier element extends generally perpendicularly from the support member. An inlet port is disposed on the cooking surface, defining an opening, and having a connector sized to fit the detachable electrical control. The inlet port is electrically connected to the heating element and disposed on the cooking surface proximate the barrier element such that the barrier element obstructs the inlet port's connector when the support member is folded under the cooking surface and the barrier element does not obstruct the inlet port's connector when the support member is unfolded and generally perpendicular to the cooking surface.

Cooking apparatus with safety device

Indoor grill

A food slicing rack device includes a base with a top surface and two rows of spaced apart fingers defining knife guide slots extending from the base. A backstop is provided at one end of the device. The top surface of the device slopes downwardly in a direction from an open end of the device toward the backstop. Electric knife rivet recesses are provided for removing the knife after cutting. A snap arrangement is provided to snap the knife to the device for storage. The fingers are provided with alternating colors to facilitate alignment of the guide slots and uniform cutting. A hand slot in the backstop is provided for removing the sliced food item from the device. One construction provides for separate U-shaped members joined together to form the device. Methods of slicing food include tilting the food item toward a backstop and slicing each successive slice in a direction toward the backstop, withdrawing the knife through enlarged recesses provided in the cutting fingers, swiping the hand through a slot in the backstop to remove the sliced items, and attaching the knife to the rack device upon the completion of the cutting operation.
